Just attempted an early morning proof-of-concept with the Elastic Kubernetes operator for deploying full text search to Mastodon. I'm a bit saddened by the fact that Mastodon doesn't support connecting to Elasticsearch over TLS.

I would either have to completely strip down the security on the Elasticsearch instances, or add some middleware to handle TLS instead.

Not too thrilled about either. Marking the PoC as failed, for now.
